🗣👥 Edge#244: This Google Model Combines Reasoning and Acting in a Single Language Model

ReAct provides an architecture that triggers actions based on language reasoning paths

On Thursdays, we dive deep into one of the freshest research papers or technology frameworks that is worth your attention. Our goal is to keep you up to date with new developments in AI to complement the concepts we debate in other editions of our newsletter.

💥 What’s New in AI: ReAct – a Model that Combines Reasoning and Acting in a Single Language Model

Reasoning is one of the emerging capabilities we see in the new generation of language-pretrained models. Neural network architectures such as GPT-3 and PaLM have excelled in reasoning tasks such as question-answering or even solving mathematical problems. However, most language models still fail to translate reasoning into direct action in a given environment. On the other hand, we have seen models in areas such as embodied tasks and gaming that are incredibly efficient at interacting with an environment.

Can we combine the two?
